  1. perfect site for next dan brown novel on Astronomers Find the Calmest Place On Earth · · Score: 1

    Robert Langdon: [reading off papyrus scroll] The holy observatory 'neath RIDGE waits. The blade and chalice guarding o'er her gates. Adorned in masters' loving art, she lies. She rests at last beneath the SHARPER & CALMER & COLDER starry skys.

  2. Re:I am not sure where is the privacy problem here on UK Plans To Link Criminal Records To ID Cards · · Score: 1

    well its a package deal..good+bad.

    but hey..what kind of system is that which relies only on an ID without a proper check to give out loans..crap.

    if thats so in sweden..i like the red-tapism in india...i cant even get close to a bank..for 2 months from start of the process to get the loan...whew!!

    and yes..we will be having national cards by next year.. :)

  3. Re:I am probably going to get run off for this on UK Plans To Link Criminal Records To ID Cards · · Score: 1

    over-speeding isnt a criminal offense dude!..but i got ur point...u shd cite drunk-n-drive offense.

    but i dont fully agree to what u say - people are highly biased and u wouldn't want to have a guy as ur next day neighbor who has got some record on the card..and people change..this way you will be typecasting people and such people wont be able to return the normal social life considering the history...law will punish for the offense but society will keep punishing'em for life.

    everyone shd have a second chance...i feel.

  4. Die IE Die!!! on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Yes...much better UI.

    and ofcourse..my favs would be.

    1. Faster startup time - i hate when IE takes that time to even show me the white color of the page..I used to love IE6.0...but good to hear abt this startup time thing..
    2. Saving on Vertical Space - its often nice to have a big working space and at the sametime dont have to have small buttons...good combination.
    3. tabs-on-top (dont know what so good abt it though)

    allthough the mockups dont talk abt statusbar thing..will it be like chrome? because..it feels as if we are floating without statusbar..statusbar is a must.

    [opera 10 is good too..with that small thumbnails of the tabs on left hand side..but i guess not in the race yet?]

    rest..firefox rules!! :)...die IE die.

  5. Good...Bad...National ID Card? on UK Plans To Link Criminal Records To ID Cards · · Score: 1

    National id card is the need of time and must be implemented...in my land..here in india govt has intiated the project for issuing national id card. more info[http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=44711]

    it has number of advantages for any economy such as, identifying the illegal immigrants, one dont have to carry 10 different identity proofs any more, and e-governance will be easy which in turn will curb the corruption to some level.

    allthough linking it to the criminal records might not be a good idea as system-abusers will/might take advantage of it and again privacy of an individual is at stake..so i guess..govt should take a step down here.

    [if we go mayan way..its just 2 more years[2012] to enjoy the life...so wont bother abt national card :P]

  6. settling scores on EMC Co-Founder Commits Suicide · · Score: 0

    I feel so sorry for him and his family.

    At the same time i feel its a terrible waste of Brilliant person, he could have been great help to economy.

    -apart from that, the issue that being discussed here, i would like to say that...sucide is the wrong choice to end the life.

    pain and suffering is like settling the scores of this of past lifes, one has to settle the score in this life or in next, there is no escape, better finish it off in this, and dont create more scores which will need another lives to settle down. live a simple and happy life.

  9. Lighter and breathalyzers on A Breathalyzer For Cancer · · Score: 0

    Lighter company should now manufacture lighter that has a breathalyzer on the otherside(assuming that in future we will have mini-size breathalyzers).

    Have a breathalyzer in the pocket along with lighter next to it...so u might want to check how much have u lost after that puff...this might double the sell...can I patent this idea?

    to be frank..u have lost it on that first puff!!!

  16. Re:Avoiding Obesity is Difficult on Obesity May Accelerate Brain Aging · · Score: 0

    well, reducing the intake is not the correct way as your body will need the nutrition to function correctly. reducing the intake of junk food could be a proper line..i suggest. well, i m not obese..i am 150lbs. but, trust me..good diet is GOD's OWN SOURCE of HEALTH..apart from a proper excercise. and ofcourse..people who gain the weight..loose the brain..and so they gain the weight...but that doesnt mean that one who loose the wait will gain the brain. :P

    People in my city drive 2 wheeler while talking on the phone..this is how it looks.---

    person is tilted in 45degree
    phone is in the gap-of-ear-shoulder-region (why not hands-free...bluetooth is expensive..and earphone is big hassle to carry)
    and cutting the light while doing all this..
    if possible..watching few birds on the road. :P

    and yet..no one accident that involves people on these bikes. :)

    i guess..people here dont FEEL that :)

  19. Re:When I multitask... on Habitual Multitaskers Do It Badly · · Score: 0

    People in my city (pune)...drive 2-wheelers while talking over the phone..and they actully drive from one light to another..at times do break the lights. its so funny to watch that..they tilt their head in like 50degree and the phone is in the gap of head-and-shoulder. :) so they are doing multi-tasking- 1. breaking the light 2. talking over the phone (somtimes business negotiation..god) 3. driving 4. what-ever-possible with eyes and nose open for it. :P

  20. Statistics on One Crime Solved Per 1,000 London CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    Instead of working/commenting on these kinds of statestics, cant they use the money to invest into post-event analysis...that should give out details such as

    1. robbery pattern
    2. involved people's academic pattern
    3. class of people involved
    4. how many new bees are being involved every year
    5. which is more sensitve area

    if they have all this data, they can actually implement some solutions given based on data analysis and have real-bone-tissue-kind-of-officers solving the problems.

    the money can be used in much more better way..if thought of.

    ofcourse the CCTV company's would loose the business..but..i guess the minister would get some votes..wont they? :)
